I'm sorry, but there's no contest. Space beats Tahiti every time. And with Cook being of an inquisitive mind; I think he would have given anything to go to space. :]

Gee, can't you go anywhere on YouTube without encountering foul and crude language. If you, are anyone else, wants to comment, use civilized and polite terminology.

Nope. Just the orbits of us and Venus. It' parallax. Sun flips are very slow processes that take thousands of years.

How can people not enjoy and like these videos? It's got to be a bunch of creationist masterbaters who campaign their nonsense by surfing YouTube and hating anything science.

how come venus is higher up on this transit, is it because the sun flipped again?
